DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9208
Abstract: Abstract Male mating strategies respond to female availability such that variation in resources that affect spatial distribution can also alter cost–benefit tradeoffs within a population. In arid‐adapted species, rainfall alters reproduction, behavior, morphology, and population… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2019.103921
Abstract: In a mating system in which females are monandrous and males are polygynous, females may incur a risk by mating with males with possible sperm depletion following consecutive matings. Here, we examined the effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neures.2022.04.002
Abstract: Male sexual activity reduces the level of depression through oxytocin (OT) release within the brain. In this study, we showed that male mating behavior reduces depression-like behavior through OT-induced cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007485321000390
Abstract: Abstract The short-lived polygamous moth Grapholita molesta (Busck) is an important fruit pest worldwide. Trapping males by synthetic female sex pheromones is not an effective reproductive control strategy. It is important to improve this technology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03413-6
Abstract: Innate social behaviours, such as mating and fighting, are fundamental to animal reproduction and survival1. However, social engagements can also put an individual at risk2. Little is known about the neural mechanisms that enable appropriate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2019-0193
Abstract: Competition among males can be a decisive factor for successful mating in anuran explosive breeders with a male-biased population sex ratio. The Yungas Red-belly Toad (Melanophryniscus rubriventris... read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0009121
Abstract: Background The development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes can have pleiotropic effects on key behaviours such as mating competition and host-location. Documenting these effects is crucial for understanding the dynamics and costs of insecticide resistance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13020172
Abstract: Simple Summary Although a growing number of studies have reported asymmetries of brain and behavior in various insect orders, detailed information on lateralization in the courtship and mating behavior of insects in the wild is… read more here.
